02-06-2013: NECA/WizKids announced Dota 2 as the latest addition of licensed brands to the popular collectibles miniatures game, HeroClix. The Dota 2 collection will encompass two 5-figure Starter Sets, with a 24-figure Gravity Feed to follow.

A sneak peak of the Dota 2 HeroClix collection will be offered to New York Toy Fair attendees, February 10-13 (2013).

What is DOTA? (from wikipedia)Dota 2 is an upcoming multiplayer online battle arena video game being developed by Valve Corporation and the stand-alone sequel to the popular Defense of the Ancients mod for Warcraft III: Reign of Chaos and its expansion pack, The Frozen Throne. Formally announced on October 13, 2010, via Game Informer, the game is currently available for early test access purchase, with a free-to-play business model when released. Dota 2 will be released via download by Valve's content delivery platform Steam, on which the game has been developed to run exclusively for both release and update delivery. Dota 2 will run on Microsoft Windows and Mac OS X.

Dota 2 consists of session-based online multiplayer activity, with the primary objective of each match being for teams to destroy their opposing team's fortified stronghold. Each player controls a player character called a "hero", who is given the responsibility of participating in team combat, which generally takes place along a series of lanes that connect their opposing bases, lined with defensive towers. The gameplay elements are largely incorporated from Defense of the Ancients, with the game's lead designer, IceFrog, being the longest-serving and current developer of the Warcraft III mod.

There better be a 3 lane DOTA map, and the starter kits should come with relics of items and bystander tokens of creeps, also a piece of ROSHAN would be cool

Is anyone aware of any additional information about this? It says, "A sneak peak of the Dota 2 HeroClix collection will be offered to New York Toy Fair attendees, February 10-13 (2013)." Are there any pictures, reviews, or info out there on the web from this?

Also, "02-06-2013: The Dota 2 collection will encompass two 5-figure Starter Sets, with a 24-figure Gravity Feed to follow." Does this mean there will be 24 different figures in a gravity feed? Or a normal 10 different figures in a gravity feed which is sold in 24 single booster displays? Its a little unclear to me.

You guys do realize that Wizkids/NECA has a deal with Valve, right? They've distributed a lot of Valve products before, like Half-Life, Left4Dead and Team Fortress 2 Action figures. They even made a replica Portal gun. The only Valve franchise Wizkids/NECA hasn't tapped into yet is DOTA 2. Although I prefer action figures myself, using Heroclix to showcase DOTA 2 is pretty cool too.

Funny how Indy characters can spawn successful films (which cost millions) and toys and video games and yet HeroClix people are afraid to make clix of them.

Wha--What the...What the crap is this? Okay, now you guys are just messing with us! We get DOTA, but not TMNT? No Dragonball Z? No Naruto?!! But DOTA!? If you guys aren't going to take this seriously anymore then I don't know what to say. haha
